What makes the Coworking Trends Survey different from other surveys?
We are the longest running coworking survey. Alongside the Global Coworking Survey, we are the only long-term survey in the industry. Many other surveys come and go, rarely sharing their findings with a wider audience. Since 2010, we have consistently published our results, with key findings always available for free.
We take your privacy seriously. Unlike many surveys, Deskmag’s Coworking Surveys do not collect personal information such as names, emails, or postal addresses. Surveys that ask for identifying information are often gathering data for marketing purposes, not scientific research. In many cases, this is hidden under the guise of a supposedly higher scientific purpose.
We cover what is, not what we wish it to be. Our aim is to describe reality in all its nuances. That’s why we believe anonymous submissions are more honest and reflect reality better than questionnaires that require identifying information. When people feel pressured to enter more socially acceptable answers, the data is often skewed.
We are a survey, not a court. Our mission is to report, not to judge.
We offer prizes for many - not just one. Many surveys offer raffles where only one person wins, and everyone else loses. This approach is not in the spirit of coworking and often distorts the data, as participants are motivated by the prize rather than providing accurate information. Our biggest reward is the free publication of the key findings, helping to improve coworking environments for members and create more sustainable businesses for operators.
In addition, we offer rewards for the survey distribution. Official partners will be mentioned in many of our published results. In some cases, we will include a backlink or logo of your company where possible. You’ll also be featured on our Wall of Partners on globalcoworkingsurvey.com.
